All the five American terror suspects, who were arrested from Sargodha, Punjab, earlier this month, would be tried in Pakistan, a senior Pakistani police official has said.

Interacting with media persons during a press conference here, Sargodha police chief Dr Usman Anwar said interrogation of the suspects had been completed and they would be tried over terrorism charges, as links between them and some of the banned terror organizations have been established.

Anwar said the men, all in their late 20s, will be produced in an anti-terrorism court on Friday, and the court would be requested to hand over the accused to the police for further questioning.
